Topic 17 4

Previously in INF 111…

UML

• Generalization

◘ Inheritance ◘ Polymorphism

Topic 17 5

Today’s Lecture

UML

• Class Diagrams
• Use Case Diagrams
• Sequence Diagrams

Topic 17 6

Class Diagrams

• Association

There is an association between two classes if an instance of one class must know about the other in order to perform its work.

• A relationship between instances of the two classes.
• In a diagram, an association is represented by a link connecting two

classes.

• may have a role name to clarify the nature of the association
• A navigability arrow on an association indicates which direction the

association can be traversed or queried.

◘ no navigability arrows are bi-directional.

• Aggregation
• An association in which one class belongs to a collection.
• In a diagram, an aggregation is represented with a diamond end pointing to

the part containing the whole.

◘ “is a part of”

• Generalization
• An inheritance link indicating one class is a superclass of the other

◘ “is a” or “is like a”

• A generalization is represented with a triangle pointing to the superclass.

Class Diagrams provide a static model view of the system Describes the Structure

Class Diagrams

Topic 17 8

Types of UML Diagrams

Structure .

(6 types)

Class diagrams Object diagram Package diagram Composite structure

diagram

Component diagram Deployment Diagram

Behavior .

(4 types)

Activity diagram Use Case diagram State machine diagram Interaction diagrams

• Sequence diagram
• Communication diagram
• Interaction overview

diagram

• Timing diagram

If the appropriate diagram is not part of UML use it anyways

Topic 17 9

Scenarios

• Describes the system from an external viewpoint
• A Scenario is an example of what happens when

someone interacts with the system

• EXAMPLE Scenario – Medical Clinic:
• "A patient calls the clinic to make an appointment for a yearly
• checkup. The receptionist finds the nearest empty time slot in the

appointment book and schedules the appointment for that time

• slot. “

Topic 17 10

Use Cases

• Again - describes the system from an external viewpoint

“provides an outsider’s view”

• A Use Case is a summary of scenarios for a single task or goal.
• Represented as an oval
• Actors

◘ who or what initiates the events involved in that task ◘ roles that people or objects play ◘ Represented as stick figures

• Communication (or Communication Association)
• A Connection between the actor and the use case
• Represented as a line

Use Case Diagrams describe the dynamic behavior of the system

Topic 17 11

Use Case Diagrams

A collection of actors, use cases, and their

associations Use case diagrams are helpful in three areas

Determining features (requirements)

• New use cases often generate new requirements.

◘ Can happen during design and system analysis Communicating with clients

• Simple notation makes them easy to understand

Generating test cases

• The collection of scenarios for a use case may suggest a

suite of test cases for those scenarios

Topic 17 12

Use Case Diagram – Medical Clinic

Topic 17 13

Expanding Use Cases

• A simple use case diagram can be expanded to display more information
• Use Cases can be developed iteratively and incrementally
• System boundaries
• separates the system from the external actors
• Represented as a rectangle
• Generalizations
• shows that one use case is simply a special kind of another
• Represented with an open triangle
• Includes
• factor use cases into additional ones
• For example, a subtask that other use cases may use
• Represented as a dotted line beginning at base use case ending with an arrows pointing

to the include use case.

◘ The dotted line is labeled <<include>>.

• Extensions
• One use case is a variation of another
• Represented as a dotted line, labeled <<extend>>, and with an arrow toward the base

case.

• The extension point determines when the extended case is appropriate, is written inside

the base case. Topic 17 14 Topic 17 15

Sequence Diagrams

One type of Interaction Diagram Also describe the behavior of the

system

Details how operations are carried

• ut
• What messages are sent when

Organized according to time Objects listed from left to right

• According to when they take part in the

message sequence

6

Topic 17 16

Sequence Diagrams: Terms

A lifeline, representis the time that an object exists

• Represented as a vertical line.

An activation bar represents the duration of execution of

the message

• Represented by a vertical rectangle

A message call is represented by an arrow between

activation bars

• A simple message return is represented by a dashed arrow

A self call is when an object calls itself A note is used to clarify details

• Represented with a dog-eared rectangle

(Notes can be put into any kind of UML diagram)

Topic 17 17

Sequence Diagram Example: Hotel Reservation

Topic 17 18

Putting them together

Class Diagrams Scenarios Use Cases Sequence Diagrams How do they all work together

UML is iterative & Incremental

Elevator Example: Use Case

Topic 17 21

Elevator Example: Scenario

Passenger pressed floor button Elevator system detects floor button

pressed

Elevator moves to the floor Elevator doors open Passenger gets in and presses elevator

button

Elevator doors closes Elevator moves to required floor Elevator doors open Passenger gets out Elevator doors closes

Topic 17 25

ATM Example

Topic 17 26

Session Use Case Description

A session is started when a customer inserts an ATM card into the card reader slot of the machine. The ATM pulls the card into the machine and reads it. (If the reader cannot read the card due to improper insertion or a damaged stripe, the card is ejected, an error screen is displayed, and the session is aborted.) The customer is asked to enter his/her PIN, and is then allowed to perform one or more transactions, choosing from a menu of possible types of transaction in each case. After each transaction, the customer is asked whether he/she would like to perform another. When the customer is through performing transactions, the card is ejected from the machine and the session ends. If a transaction is aborted due to too many invalid PIN entries, the session is also aborted, with the card being retained in the machine.

• The customer may abort the session by pressing the Cancel key

when entering a PIN or choosing a transaction type.
